AI and the Creative Condition Conference
The conference will take place 23-24 March, 2026 at Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS). It is hosted by Center for Contemporary Cultures of TEXT and Human-AI Collaboration (HAIC-III).
TEXT: Center for Contemporary Cultures of Text is organized to understand the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) on writing cultures at this pivotal moment in history, in which — after more than 6,000 years of handcrafted text production — we see all aspects of text creation and use are being altered. We are convinced that a research-based understanding of the role of text in a new technological environment is a condition for a prevailing human-centered control of the production and usage of text.
TEXT is a centre of excellence funded by Danish National Research Foundation.
HAIC-III offers an analytical, theoretical, and practical interventionist perspective on GenAI as a cultural and creative interface. Through analytical understanding, critical scrutiny, and a series of art and design interventions, HAIC-III develops new and deep understandings of the impact of GenAI to digital culture while also devising an innovative set of practice-based tactics to work with GenAI creatively.
